This is so not true. Induction (or at least the one I have) is ridiculously fast and goes way hotter than any gas stove I've ever seen in a house. It goes so high it can make the bottom of my pan orange glowing if I turn up the heat enough. It even has a boost mode, but I never use it because it will literally burn your food black in around 5 seconds without stirring or 2 minutes when continuously stirring.
